Hi,
I've been trying to troubleshoot a problem with TeX labels I ran into the other day... finally I discovered that
1. MkIV (textext) includes TeX material as one single chunk apparently while MkII (btex ... etex) used to include a decomposable picture and that 2. the anchor point is completely different!
Is there any way to restore both the "individual addressing" of glyphs and the MkII anchor point in MkIV?
This would be crucial for a customized labelling macro...
Best, Oliver
P.S. Why is "h," included as one piece in MkII?
the fact that you have pieces in mkii is a side effect of dvitomp turning dvi output in mp pictures; in the process it combines glyphs that have no kerning and whatever spacing becomes shifts in mkiv the text is treated as a whole and that will not change so, if in mkiv you want pieces, you need to textext each snippet that you want as such keep in mind that the way mkii (read: external tex processing and dvitomp) works is quite unpredictable Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
